  • 2017 AETC Community Support Award Altus Trophy
    2017 AETC Community Support Award Altus Trophy Celebrating over 75 Years of Teamwork Enid High School hosted military appreciation night during a football game between the Enid Plainsmen and Stillwater High School. Colonel Lee G. Gentile, Jr. had the honors for coin toss ceremony before Enid high school football game. Col. Gentile used his “challenge coin” during the “Friday Night Lights” community event. Table of Contents 1. Executive Summary 2. Letters of Endorsement 3. Community Description 4. Military Affairs/Armed Services 5. Supporting supplementary materials Page intentionally left blank Executive Summary The relationship between Enid, Oklahoma and Vance Air Force Base is one that is unrivaled by any other. The bond between the base and city has only strengthened through the years and stands now as a benchmark of support to our nation’s men and women for other communities to follow. It is through the unending selflessness exhibited by the citizens of Enid that Vance AFB is able to succeed in its mission of developing professional Airmen, delivering world-class pilots and deploying combat ready warriors. Beginning in the early days of World War II when US Army sentries were charged with securing the new base with empty rifles, it was the Enid Police Department that loaned them bullets until supplies arrived. The faithful support continued through the wars of Korea, Vietnam, the Global War on Terror and every other conflict of the 21st century. As an overwhelming show of support, in 1995 nearly 12,000 Enid citizens gathered outside the base to show their appreciation and dedication to the role it plays in our community.
